Your tears are very salty so seawater actually isnt that different from the water that's already in your eyes. A lot of panic people have in opening their eyes

Your tears are very salty so seawater actually isnt that different from the water that's already in your eyes. A lot of panic people have in opening their eyes in seawater stems from their experience of chlorinated swimming pools - which absolutely stings like hell!
- narag 11y agoI don't know why, but seawater in my eyes absolutely causes me pain, not panic.
- pcl 11y agoYep. But when something goes wrong and you're 80 feet underwater, panic is not far away, and is really risky, since the panic response is unlikely to be the safe thing to do when deep underwater. So anything I can do to become acclimatized to problems is a win.
